Responsibility

Neither Virginia CLE, its parent organization The Virginia Law
Foundation (which shall be included in any reference to Virginia
CLE), nor its agent for this trip, Tour Plan International, shall be
held liable for any loss, any act of omission, whether negligent or
otherwise, of any person or firm which is scheduled to, or does
provide goods or services for the trip. Nor shall Virginia CLE or
Tour Plan International have liability for any transportation delay,
including but not limited to liability for inconvenience, shortened
vacation time, additional expenses or any other kind of
damage. In the event of a delay, the airline (not Virginia CLE
or Tour Plan International) determines delay procedures and the
amenities and/or compensation, if any, to be offered. Neither
Virginia CLE nor Tour Plan International shall be held responsible
for any loss, injury or damage to person or property in connection
with accommodations, air and land transportation, or other services
resulting from acts of God, dangers incident to fire, breakdown in
machinery or equipment, acts of government, civil strikes, riots,
thefts, defaults, delays, cancellation, or changes in itinerary from
any causes beyond the control of Virginia CLE or Tour Plan
International.

Force Majeure

Neither Virginia CLE nor Tour Plan International is responsible for
losses caused by cancellation of the seminar in whole or in part,
and/or nonperformance of all or any part of this agreement when such
cancellation or non-performance is attributable in whole or part to
any event, natural disaster, fire, flood, government regulation,
travel or transportation restriction, non-availability of food,
beverages, or other supplies, riot, war, national emergency, acts of
terrorism, acts of God, or other circumstances not within the
reasonable control of Virginia CLE or Tour Plan International, which
either prevents or inhibits their performance hereunder in any
manner.

Cancellation and
Refund Policy

This program requires Virginia CLE to make significant financial
commitments well in advance of the trip to the hotel, airline, and
others to ensure their availability when we arrive. These
commitments are often non-refundable, or become so after a certain
date, and are based on the number of participants who have
registered with us. We encourage you to register as soon as you
can. We are closely monitoring the current health situation,
and will make a final determination on whether the trip is "a go"
prior to May 13. We will base our decision on the health
situation and the number of registrations we have received up to
that date, and will issue a full refund if we do have to cancel the
Nice trip prior to May 13. Following is the maximum to be
forfeited should you decide to cancel your registration:

Before May 13
May 13 – July 30, 2020:

Full refund
$2,500 per room

July 31 – August 31, 2020:

$3,900 per room

September 1, 2020 or later:

No refund

Virginia CLE and Tour Plan International will strive to recover the
most we can from our contractors, and will share those proceeds
proportionately with those who cancel, and so the amounts forfeited
above may be less, but will not be more.

Optional Trip Cancellation / Baggage Insurance

Due to the cancellation restrictions and the risk of lost,
delayed or damaged baggage, we strongly recommend purchasing trip
health, accident, baggage, and cancellation insurance. The
direct air carriers limit their liability for loss, delay and/or
damage to personal baggage. Neither Virginia CLE nor Tour Plan
International shall be held responsible for delay, loss or damage to
participants’ baggage. IMPORTANT: Insurance companies limit
compensation for cancellations due to "preexisting conditions." Tour
Plan International has set up an optional group travel insurance
plan. For the brochure, click here or visit the
Allianz website http://www.allianztravelinsurance.com, or call
their toll-free number, 1-866-884-3556

Documents

Participants must carry a valid PASSPORT. The responsibility for
obtaining a passport, and for bringing it on the trip, rests with
the participants. The passport must be valid for at least six
months beyond the intended date of departure from France!.
This policy is strictly enforced by the airlines. Passengers
denied boarding are responsible for all re-accommodation and/or
cancellation expenses.
